    If there is decent and equal compression on both sides I’d be wary of cracking into it too hastily unless you are in a rush to get it on the water. Maybe keep feeding it penetrant/seafoam and turning it over occasionally in hopes that things loosen up further revisit trying to start it in in a couple months?

    Just thinking out loud here and no merit to he idea but in a case like this would jury rigging a drill or other electric motor to the flywheel and allowing the engine to "run" for some hours maybe help?
